Spatial technologies to strengthen traditional testing for SARS-CoV-2

Trends Microbiol. 2021 Mar 14:S0966-842X(21)00062-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2021.03.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvanced spatial and digital technologies may help us to take fuller advantage of limited testing resources to monitor the infection status of a large population in a cost-effective manner. Moreover, they may provide additional evidence to supplement results of nucleic acid testing (NAT) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to decrease false-negative and false-positive rates.PMID:33775546 | PMC:PMC7955912 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2021.03.003
